The ESCToday.com team keeps the action tirelessly in motion in the host city of Vienna. The Eurovision scene does not stop  as the rehearsals continue in the Wiener Stadthalle, with performances from the automatic qualifiers; the ‘Big 5’, the host country and the guest country.

The next act to take to the Eurovision stage for today’s rehearsals are the British duo, Electro Velvet. It’s a cabaret up there! Alex and Bianca bring you back in time and the forward to the future with a smart and witty use of their attire. The performance is funny and colorful.
